Table 1. Recent publications of systematic review and meta-analysis regarding supramaximal resection in GBMs.

Class Year Number of enrolled studies Number of patients Conclusion
Incekara et al. [31] 2019 6 1,168 Compared with GTR, SMR of GBM resulted in a lower risk of mortality and longer median OS.
Dimou et al. [12] 2020 7 2,019 Preliminary results are promising but has low quality.
Jackson et al. [32] 2020 11 2,056 SMR may be associated with improved OS compared to GTR.
Wach et al. [17] 2023 11 1,168 The median PFS was longer in SMR group than GTR group. The rate of complications was comparable between the two groups.

GTR, gross total resection; SMR, supramaximal resection; GBM, glioblastoma; OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival
